Sir JOHN MOORE 'and his army.were there, and the Audacious, of 74. The British and French Armies bad not changed their positions subsequent to the 2gd, but had agreed on an Armistice; the, particulars of which had been dispatched to Sir CHARLES COTTON. Accounts have just arrived which state, that in consequence of some movements on the 'pert of. the French, it had been deemed expedient to remove the Spanish Troops without delay from Langeland, to Cot tenburgh, wheie they had safely arrived, and where Tratwports were ready to receive them. They con_ sist of upwards of gOOO fine Troops. There are with them about 200 women.

" This very night a division or . 4000 excellent troops ;voted from, this place to cut off the.enemy's retreat through Navarre,_ where they will be joined by other tropps and the arthed_ peasantry of that enuntry ; and the 6000 / men that expe& to. morrow from Valencia, joined by 4000 Men of the army. formed on Catalay-ad, will, I 'trust, be able to overtake the enemy's , rear, ill order to 6has tize and prevent them. from committing on this -march their usual robberies and vexations.

The length, and the importance of the Official Accounts of - the glorious - success -of Sir- ARTHUR WELLESLEY, prevented us from doing justice to our. feelings on Saturday last, in offering the humble tri bute of our admiration to that gallant Officer. But, indeed, those accounts speak for themselves, and shew, - that his modesty is equal to those other vir tues which have justly procured him the admiration of his-country, and of all who respea great talents, -and the most elevated qualities of the heart. • There' is no need of a comparison between the accounts Which Sir ARTHUR WELLE S LEY has given of his gloriods achievement, and those inflited and insulting vaunts by which the French always announced their triumphs. The Reports Of .Sir ARTHUR, on the • contrary, (while he speaks in due terms of the me rits and the services of ; the gallant troops whom he commanded) render ample justice to the Enemy,' both as to their intrepidity and skill. Sir ARTHUR, while he so delicately passes' over his own concern in the glorious 'occasion, is generously anxious to give all possible honour to his brave associates in arms, and leaves his country to estimate his own merits ; and well might he do so, as on his return he will— '• Read Ids His Cry in a Nation's eyes." A Gottenburgh Mail arrived last night, .and an other to-day. As the War in Finland isnearlyover; these Mails have lost much of their interest. There, is one article, however, which we hope to have con finned it states, . that a corps of 2000 French troops-; atliatuburgh, having received orders to march, for Spain, openly expressed their discontent, and when they .were . embarked .on board some Vessels in the Elbe, threw their arms overboard. Private Letters' also mate, that - some of the. Princes belonging to . the Confederation of the Rhine, have manifested' a considerable degree, of reludance in obeying 800- SAPARTO order to assemble their Contingents: , — We shall rejoice to find that these re'ports'are true: The ColOssal Empire WhiCh BOONAPAItTE'Iias estai blished is held together more by thei terror which. his successes .have inspired, than by any real power which he pOs,sess.6.
